Betsy Bloom is a mini F1 Bernedoodle. An F1 Bernedoodle is a first-generation
cross between a Bernese Mountain Dog and a Poodle, and the "F" stands for
filial, which means "of or relating to a son or daughter". The number after the "F"
indicates the generation of the hybrid. Betsy Bloom came to us from Porter
Country Kennels in Karlstad, Minnesota. Her mother or “dam” was Paris, an AKC
registered Bernese Mountain Dog, while her father or “sire” was Django, an AKC
registered miniature poodle.
Bernedoodles like Betsy are known for being fun-loving, loyal, and easygoing.
Betsy is no exception! At 3 years old, she's always up for a game of fetch or a
cuddle on the couch, and our girl loves, loves, loves, the beach. Betsy weighs 40
pounds, and stands 24 inches tall at the withers. She is a black & tan tricolor F1
bernedoodle. Embark DNA Test Results: CLEAR.
Betsy is expecting puppies with an AKC registered standard poodle, which
means Betsy Bloom’s puppies will be F1B Bernedoodles. An "F1b Bernedoodle"
refers to a second generation Bernedoodle. The "F" stands for "filial" (meaning
offspring), “1” indicates first generation, and “b” means “backcross”.

Together the "1b" indicates that this upcoming litter is the result of breeding a first-generation Bernedoodle ("F1") with a purebred Poodle, essentially making the F1b pup 75% Poodle and 25% Bernese Mountain Dog; this "backcross" with a Poodle usually leads to a more hypoallergenic, low-shedding coat compared to a standard F1 Bernedoodle.
